    Worse

    I like the bay designs and I think this face looks like shit, so even to a bay design fan this is ugly

    Christ, what even is that robot mode? That's worse than some of the Bayverse designs.

    Either way, I'd rather have them turn into actual real-life beasts than Transmetal robotic ones. That's the whole appeal of making a live action Beast Wars IMO.

    I did recall Rik Alvarez mentioned a concept art of Cheetor at TFcon once. My guess is that he was referring to this.

    His Beast mode is by far much better than his Robot mode. Here’s hoping they change Cheetor’s final robot mode design. He looks like Hellboy!

    I mean, Beast mode looks pretty great, even if it's not accurate. The head is really bad. I know people shit on Bayverse faces but I can't even tell what I'm looking at.

    Why is it so hard for some people to give these robots normal looking heads?

    That looks really bad but it’s still pretty interesting

    If Hasbro lets them butcher these characters like this again I am going to go insane.

    Bay verse aged well so I’m willing to keep an open mind.

    Same, and I'm saying that as a Bayverse fan in general. I legitimately cannot make out a mouth on the closed-mouth variant of the head. All the detail just blurs together and makes any difference between face and lips impossible to distinguish.

    This is... So far removed from anything resembling Cheetor it's not even funny.

    This is actually a worse design departure to me than the Bay designs (which I honestly don't mind too much but Bumblebee definitely handled it better). What is going on with that robot head? It's just a hideous design outside of supposably being Cheetor.

    Also I don't like the animal mode being robotic, I get that having organic animals become robots in a """live action""" movie is probably going to be tricky to pull off, and having robot animals will probably go over easier, but that robo cheetah still isn't that good looking to me(I think it's the weird ass tail).

    That's all I'm gonna say on the matter. I don't want to be someone who just moans and complains about stuff, and I have a feeling this early concept art was released to gauge our reaction to it.

    The robot cheetah is pretty cool, but ooo... I hope that\'s a battle mask.  I had hoped since the cybertron scene in Bumblebee they\'d start making less greebled faces.

    Beast mode wouldn't be too bad in yellow with some spots. It's got the right proportions and face for a cheetah.

    The robot mode is terrible.

    I thought the Beast Wars movie got cancelled in favour of Bumblebee 2?

    If not, now I'm wishing it was.
